Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5903 W Addison St in Portage Park, owned by Bonnie & Mark Frackiel, has been facing ongoing pest control challenges, particularly with rodent issues, as evidenced by multiple rat complaint and baiting requests in 2026. The property, constructed in 1888, is notable for having two unresolved building code violations recorded in August 2022, which warrant attention due to their open status as of the current date. While the building has had a total of 24 service requests filed through the 311 system in the past seven years, it's worth noting that many of these complaints have been addressed and closed, including a graffiti removal request in October 2025 and a sanitation code violation in March 2026. The concentration of rodent-related issues in 2026 and the presence of open building code violations from 2022 are particularly significant from a tenant experience perspective, though the historical record shows most previous complaints have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 5903 W Addison St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
